Hasbro Q&A Sessions

[Daigo-Bah]

I wonder which Han they intend to "turn their attention to" next year?  Stormtrooper armor Han?  Or maybe they mean some EU source Han...

[Jesse James]

Yeah, that's a tough one to figure out...  Stormie Han seems like the most logical film source other than Bespin Han.  Bespin's a matter of time though, really.

Wonder if the V30AC Snowtrooper question means they've got it in their noggins now to re-hash that figure in a cool way?  I hope so since I'd love that officer in a sa format.  The other figure certainly doesn't cut it.  I just wonder if they'd get the suit details right on this figure though. 

[Nicklab]

TESB Han Solo in carbonite anyone?  That one is LONG overdue for a modern rendition.

I am happy to hear that we will be getting a Silver EU coin.

[ruiner]

Yeah, that Legends wave 5 question confused me.  What exactly are they referring to when they say there are 3 EU figures affected?

Will the just-announced Saga Legends wave 5 include collector coins? If so, what color will they be? The reason I ask is because some fans are eager for an EU coin in silver, and 3 of the winning figure qualify as EU. (RS, 10/12/07)

Yes, they will come with coins. There will be at least one silver EU coin in there. ; )

[Jeff]

What exactly are they referring to when they say there are 3 EU figures affected?

I believe they were talking about the recent fan poll and how 3 of the 5 announced winners qualify for EU coins.

EU =
1. Shadow Stormtrooper
3. Covert Ops Clone Trooper
4. Utapau Shadow Trooper

I could see them using the gold EU coin (like the Darktrooper has) for the "winner" of the recent fan poll (Shadow Stormtrooper) and then using a silver one for the other two clones... or something like that.

The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted.

- What's the deal with that Lava Droid/Platform? *
- Which EU Spacetrooper in 2008?
- Can we get more pack-In figures on basic cards?


* Yes, #1 is kind of old news at this point.  Unfortunately, we submitted the question last Friday morning not knowing that Hasbro would be showing off the 2008 carded figures at the Dallas show...

I would definately go for that.

[Daigo-Bah]

From RS's round-up report, one of the sites asks about the Force Unleashed Emperor Palpatine, and the response is that it's an Unleashed figure of the small scale 
I was hoping for a lightning-hurling resculpt of the Emperor in the 4" scale!

Could this simply mean that wave 5 will have a darktrooper re-distributed, but with a silver coin?

No.  It means that the Shadow Stormtrooper, Covert Ops Clone Trooper and Utapau Shadow Trooper are probably getting issued with the silver EU coins.

[CHEWIE]

Bah to those figures!   

I might grab a couple Shadow Stormies... but the others will be left on the pegs for the other people who want them.

[Jeff]

The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted.

1.  Most obscure figure? 
2.  AotC Clone Pilot Repack - 2002 or Evo version?
3.  Indy toys in 2009?

** Also, due to the Thanksgiving Holiday, the Q&A Sessions will be taking a hiatus.  The next batch of answers should be available on Friday, December 7th.

[Darth Broem]

Wow, thirty Indy figures?  I had not heard that previously.  Of course half of them will probably be Indy in various forms but still.

[Jeff]

The latest Hasbro QnA has been posted.... and it's actually pretty good. 

- No solo Ultimate Hoth Turret anytime soon...
- Unproduced figures, the 2008 San Diego Exclusive, and Fozec.  Yes, Fozec.
- 2008 Wave 3 - a hint!

So, be sure to read the answers to get a hint at both 2008 Wave 3 and the 2008 San Diego Comic Con exclusive.
